The regulations aim to create a level playing field for all e-commerce players and ensure fair competition. Under the new rules, e-commerce companies are required to provide a level playing field for all sellers, including small and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, they are prohibited from offering exclusive deals or discounts to any seller. The move is seen as a step towards promoting fair trade practices and protecting the interests of small businesses in the e-commerce sector. The regulations also require e-commerce platforms to disclose information about the sellers on their platforms, including their business details and contact information. This is aimed at enhancing transparency and building trust among consumers. Furthermore, e-commerce companies are mandated to establish robust grievance redressal mechanisms to address consumer complaints in a timely manner.
